What if Apple does not maintain the aspect ratio? As Apple has some stakes in the film industry, it might be they just make the new iPhone longer (1.85:1 or 2:1) so the wide screen movies are not letterboxed anymore. Perhaps a resolution of 960 x 1920.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5376294decad045f13b9d108imprimanteFri, 16 May 2014 11:05:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5376294decad045f13b9d108
Then again, these telephones really have twice as numerous pixels to show pictures at a 1136 x 640 resolution despite the fact that engineers are making applications at a 568 x 320 scale. <a href="http://bit.ly/LaserJetPro" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://bit.ly/LaserJetPro</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/537484f6ecad04c825916713LokiThu, 15 May 2014 05:12:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/537484f6ecad04c825916713
I wonder if they might go with 2272 x 1280 rather than 1704 x 960, while a 50% increase on the current display would make things easy for the app developers, I see no reason why a 100% increase would be any more difficult for developers, it simply doubles the current PPI. The tech is already out there to support the higher resolution I've mentioned and it would fit Apples history, the 3S's to the 4's Retina display was a 100% PPI increase while the move to the 5/5s offered no PPI increase. It would seem Apple needs to up the game once more and what better way than to produce a screen with a 652 PPI?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5374768fecad04b67a91670ehelen.spensonThu, 15 May 2014 04:10:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5374768fecad04b67a91670e
APPLE + BEATS: Apple should cut all ties and run! Help stop it and sign.

The market has clearly communicated that it doesn't like the idea of a Beats deal with Apple. However, most naysayers and the media have struggled to properly articulate the reasoning for the bearish sentiment.
This is how it should be communicated:
- Beats should be viewed as a fashion company, as they offer very little value-add from a technology perspective. Beats main market are teenagers who currently view the earphones as a "cool" fashion statement. This is the root of the concern, as we all know that fashion statements quickly become "uncool" due to overexposure, boredom, or something more "cool" coming onto the market. It would be fair to say that the best days of the Beats "coolness" are behind it, and the sunset looms as they may soon become "un-cool". Paying $3.2 billion for a company that will probably fade away into "un-coolness" soon is probably not a wise acquisition. One cannot buy long term "coolness", as it must be created or earned.
- Apple could relatively easily create a superior headphone product at a fraction of the cost of the Beats acquisition, and Apple products are still very much "cool" and in fashion
- Apple could improve its streaming service for a fraction of the cost of this deal, and Apple subscriptions and profitability would remain leaps and bounds ahead of the Beats service.
On balance, very poor judgement at the top of Apple if this deal actually goes through.

...at the very top of this article, in blue lettering is the word Tech. If you look at the very top you'll also see the words Tech, Finance, Politics, Strategy, etc. If you're interested in Ukraine, Russia, WWWIII, and economical impacts you can click on the appropriate section to get to the topic you're interested in. Obviously, Tech doesn't quite fit what you are looking for.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373cb56eab8ea7270c32c86andrewwilliams1995Wed, 14 May 2014 16:00:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373cb56eab8ea7270c32c86

Apple should definitely stop making the phone bigger in dimensions with each generation. Its getting less user friendlyhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373be4becad049a642d8010Just A GuyWed, 14 May 2014 15:04:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373be4becad049a642d8010

What happened to Apple saying "no one is going to buy a bigger phone"? (Note at the time their standard screen size was 3.5".)

> critics have continuously praised the iPhone's screen despite the fact that its specs don't match up to its rivals
Except for reviewers that actually know something about screens:
<a href="http://www.displaymate.com/Tablet_ShootOut_4.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.displaymate.com/Tablet_ShootOut_4.htm</a>
"Retina Display unfortunately comes in with a distant 3rd place finish behind the innovative displays on the Kindle Fire HDX 7 and new Nexus 7 because it still has the same small 63 percent Color Gamut as the original iPad mini and even older iPad 2 ... The big differences in Color Gamut between the Kindle Fire HDX 7 and Nexus 7 and the much smaller 63 percent Gamut in the iPad mini Retina Display were quite obvious and easy to see in the side-by-side Viewing Tests. See Figure 1 to compare the widely disparate Color Gamuts and Figure 2 to see the very large Color Errors that result. This all appears to be due to incredibly poor planning. Instead of moving up to the higher performance (and cost) Low Temperature Poly Silicon LCDs, Apple chose to continue gambling on IGZO, which has resulted in both production shortages and inferior products."
Apple has stuck with a 1st generation HiDef screen while the competition is now onto the 4th generation.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373baafeab8ea9f33c32c80hammermanWed, 14 May 2014 14:49:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373baafeab8ea9f33c32c80
4.7-inch phone will have a 416 pixels per inch
5.5-inch iPhone 6 would have 356 pixels per inch
Welcome to HD in 2014? You are about 2 years behind HTC and Samsung
Ummm the iPhone 5s isn't 16:9...That's the whole reason they letterboxed 3:2 ratio apps that were written before they decided an extra 117 pixel vertically (for the extra row of apps in the OS)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373b997eab8ead032c32c88PulaskiWed, 14 May 2014 14:44:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373b997eab8ead032c32c88
Ukraine is falling apart, Russia is spoiling for a fight, WWW III is in the offing leading to huge economical impact and world peril, but screw it, BI editors decide the latest gadget must be the lead story.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373b0bf6bb3f75b5ec32c83Event HorizonWed, 14 May 2014 14:06:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373b0bf6bb3f75b5ec32c83
Excepting top Android phones, nobody else had these resolutions.... right, Apple?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373aeff69bedd79622d8009BrizHRWed, 14 May 2014 13:59:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5373aeff69bedd79622d8009
sub par screen resolution of 416 - is amazing for this dumb author /./

Why am I actually still reading BI? It's either a positive article on Apple ("Yeah, they bought beats!!!") or on Google or on Marissa Meyer.
Or it is a video with autoplay. No, I am not clicking on those links anymore! And I am actively searching for alternatives! Bye Bye!
